Tiger's right as far as the US is concerned:

* NCAA football (college football)
* NCAA basketball (college basketball)
* NASCAR (stock car racing)
* MMA (mixed martial arts)
* WWE (professional wrestling)
* WSP (world series of Poker)
* NHL (National Hockey League)

Most watched sports in Canada by rank:
* Hockey
* Curling
* anything else that involves ice

Actually, several games in the Cup Finals outdrew NBA games played on the same nights.

But you are right, in that Americans have never really tuned in en masse. Maybe Bettman will finally see the light and stop trying to 'grow' the sport south of the border and put more focus on it up here.

Who really cares what Tiger Woods has to say about hockey..The guy is a golfer..A very good golfer but in no way is he a spokesperson for every American.

I haven't golfed in years but I did enjoy it. The problem now is most courses around here won't even let a person walk the course..I guess the old farts in the golf carts..(Hey I'm a poet and didn't even know it! LMAO), are in such a hurry to get to the 19th hole so they can have a beverage!

Americans watch more POKER than Hockey???

Well, that says it all, doesn't it

[Bodah]

*DING* my toast are ready,brb

[PJB]

Dem there Americans love their Nascar just about as much as we love our Maple Syrup...LMAO

Sorry folks but I think this whole forum simply promotes the American versus Canadian stereotypes...They have their toothless, backwoods moonshiners and we have Celine Dionne. I doubt if I have her name right but do I honestly care.

Moonshine versus Igloos


And the winner is?

Who cares what the spoiled rich boy thinks? If his dad hadn't paid for all those golf lessons, nobody would be watching him on TV either.

Playing golf = enjoyable day outside
Watching golf = couldn't find any paint to watch drying

I can't stand watching baseball on TV. Or golf.
I do love the NBA though.
As for hockey, I honestly don't watch much NHL, but I love watching the Team Canada teams. WHL has been a favourite of mine too over the past few years, but perhaps that's because my cousin plays for the Kelowna Rockets.

[Schleihauf]

My grandparents watch golf.

[CommanderSock]

Both sports suck equally.

You don't know much about Canadian's do you? My Uncle is a huge fan of Basketball and that's all he watched. Growing up in high-school was more of a basketball loving population than hockey was. Hockey is the most popular and a Canadian Icon because we invented it, and it is the most favorite, played and watched sport by Canada. (We also invented basketball). But that doesn't mean we don't watch or play other-sports.

If you knew anything about Canadian culture, not everything is in this American perspective of Canada. I got a uncle who loves Golf, he sais its the most relaxing sport he's played and loves playing it. A uncle who loves basketball and nothing else. A dad who loves hockey, and 3 uncles who love a mix of Football and Hockey.

I guess my family and everybody I ever known is just the odd-balls of Canada?

I couldn't believe when I heard tiger say this. a golfer that has the balls to call out any other sport is just laughable. Golf is what athletes do when they're not being athletes.

Curling is ahead of the CFL? Where did you get that list? Was it pulled directly from your ass?
